A downloadable game



A Soul in the Vale is a VR Horror Survival game. Set within the grisly world of Solboros, you take on the role of the Squire, a young knight sent into the Sirescourge forest of Miliavle, where the invisible zombies known as the Soulless Dead roam free. Your goal is to survive, explore, and find the journals scattered all across the dark forest, as within their pages are the secrets of the Vale, the history of the Soulless Dead, and the last hopes of Solboros.


Controls:

  • To move, use the right analogue stick to turn yourself around, and the left to move in the desired
  • direction. 
  • The triggers on your controllers are used to navigate the menu. 
  • Use the inner grips to pick up and interact with objects such as the lantern and sword.
  • Use the X button to recall your lantern, and the A button to recall your sword (Quest controls; Game is also compatible with Vive, Windows MR, and Index).


Our game contains two key, interesting mechanics:

  • To enhance the VR combat, the game includes a weak point system. Targeting specific areas of the enemy's body, such as the neck and waist, will be the player's only means of dealing damage. Random swipes may not be very effective.

Weak point System

The neck and stomach are weak points with red dots indicating them
  • The enemies, "Soulless" are only visible within the radius of the Soul's Light Lantern. Within its light, the Soulless are exposed. They will make noise when approached, and will sound alarmed if they have spotted you.
